[quote=Anonymous]She has so much time to find her 'thing'. Middle school has so many more activity options for the kids to explore and then high school even more. Just let them try anything of interest and something will stick by 9th/10th grade. Sometimes they just need the opportunity to try something before they realize that they have a talent for it. My son never took an interest in singing until last year when he tried out for the school play. He did really well and this year has a lead role in both the play and the choir. And now, that's his 'thing'. But if you had asked him a year ago, he would never say that singing was his passion or even an interest. I have found that some kids who started their 'thing' very early have grown out of it by high school. Or have worked their way to a level that they just don't want to keep up with. What used to be fun for them is now so competitive that it stops being fun and just becomes stressful. [/quote]
